Please Support The Healthy Families Act

May 25, 2013
Subject:
I am writing to urge your support of the Healthy Families Act, which would allow workers to earn paid sick time to care for themselves or their families. I ask that you cosponsor this legislation and be a vocal and active supporter of it. Half of US workers do not have any paid sick time, and this is an economic burden for families as well as a threat to public health. Fully three-quarters of food service workers do not have paid sick time. As we were recently reminded during the swine flu outbreak, one of the most important steps we can take to stop the spread of illness is to stay home. However, this is not realistic for the nearly 50 million workers, most of them low-wage workers, who cannot afford to lose a day’s pay—nor risk losing their job. Please support the Healthy Families Act so that all workers may take care of themselves and their families. Thank you.
